It's not just about the anonymity set, there are more factors than that. That said, I concur with the conclusion.

Different strokes. I love Jeff's style and video pacing, though I don't think this is one of his best.

Bit of a myopic take, don't you think? Everyone but the most extreme recluse is probably going to have run-ins with less-than-savory characters at some point in their lives no matter what they do or how they act. Your personal informat

Yeah, that's because Vitalik writes his content in good faith.

Various appeals to emotion and analogies that ultimately provide little to nothing of value. Maybe it is a good article about why we build human-operated escape hatches and failsafes in software and hardware. When was the last time you saw

It includes shorts because you don't know when the market will turn around. It does, however, exclude DCA, which is almost always a sensible investment strategy.

Well, there are, but the things considered acceptable tradeoffs (like price/performance) are pretty different.

You don't think USDT holders have been scrambling to exit USDT over the last few days? Actually the sensible ones started cashing out around 1-2 months ago. You say that they have "not been remotely tested?" How are you quant

With a corporate account, not personal, but yes. They make it relatively simple. I don't imagine it's any different for an individual, aside from the verification process.

1. UST hasn't existed for 5 years, the others have. 2. "Algostable" coins are experimental, and this one was propped up by ponzinomics on Anchor. It is not comparable to collateralized stablecoins, and claiming otherwise is i

Please tell me where in the world of centralized finance I can go to take out a zero-collateral multi-million dollar loan, transact with it, and immediately pay it back?

Hope you've never killed anyone in a video game, wouldn't want the po-po coming for you. Think of the legal implications! Words have meaning relative to their context.

Not really, given that MEV is by no means isolated to EVM.

Not sure why you are so hung up on the semantics. Obviously the "legal definition" of frontrunning is different from the crypto native definition. What matters is that it adeptly captures the nature of these actions.

Rustlings is a great way to get a feel for what you learn in the Rust Book.

You are correct. Actually in practice it is far less complicated to achieve this, at least for Ethereum. You can simply use the Flashbots RPC to bundle your transaction and have it sent straight to a miner. No exposure to the public mempool

It is simply trust reduction/removal through distributed consensus. Any industry or application that depends on trust could be improved through use of blockchain for trust minimization. But just as easily as a knife can cut a slice of

NFTs as a technology are novel and useful. Unfortunately the way anything new first gets adopted is through the low-hanging fruit, where the proposed value is dubious and most entrants are cashing in on FOMO or operating straight up scams.

Depends what you are doing with it. In single-threaded tasks, I noticed my M1 Pro can outperform my gaming PC (5950x).

Yes, but you also need to store and compute over a massive global state, and any execution is replicated across every full node on the network. Too cheap = DoS.
